20 Delightful Gifts To Treat Yourself To This Holiday Season

As the holidays inch closer, your to-do list is probably getting a lot longer. On top of decking out your home, prepping for holiday gatherings, and planning travels, you’re likely plotting out a gift list for your loved ones.

It’s fun to fulfill someone else’s wish list — giving to others for the holidays is a special way to show how much you care. But in this season, don’t forget to set some money aside for honoring one of the most important people in your life: you! We all know how easy it is to lose track of ourselves during this busy and potentially stressful period. But if you don’t stop to connect with yourself, you could fall prey to burnout, and that takes the fun out of the holidays for pretty much everybody.

It may seem like a small gesture, but buying yourself the occasional present — whether it’s something that’ll encourage you to relax once in a while or something that just makes you smile — is one way to make sure your self-care routine stays a priority during one of the most wonderful (and chaotic) times of the year.

Below, 20 ways to invest in yourself this holiday season. Bonus? You’ll have an excuse to wander the aisles of Target.
